European Parliament calls for pressure on Russia toward "all-for-all" prisoner exchange with Ukraine
The European Parliament should put more pressure on Russia and seek an "all-for-all" prisoner exchange between Russia and Ukraine.
The European Conservatives and Reformists Group proposed adopting a corresponding resolution at the next plenary session during the hearings on the human dimension of the consequences of Russia's aggression against Ukraine at a parliamentary session in Strasbourg.
The attitude of the Russians towards prisoners of war and civilians certainly comes from the Russian tradition, and this means only violence, torture and death, said Polish MEP Michal Dworczyk, speaking on behalf of his group. He recalled multiple reports of inhuman treatment of POWs in Russia in a gross violation of international norms and human rights, which cannot go unpunished.
